Report Wont show all field??

nverma

Hi,

I am trying to create a report. I laid out the way I want the report to look. In my report, I want Job No, Description, Customer No, Customer Name, and Health card no. to show.

Everything shows up, except Customer Name. Any idea why??? Or How I can get it to work??

Thanks

And the dataitem is?

Make sure that its not a flowfield..

Job is a dataitem in the report. Since I have access to all the fields in the Job table now:- Job No, Description, Customer No. Customer Name and health card no.

Everything shows up expect Customer Name.

I am kinda newbie at NAV, thats why I am struggling so much with this simple issue.

Customer Name is a flowfield in the Job table.

How do I change it or fix it so it will work in the work on the report!

mohana_cse06

what kind of field is it? normal field or flowfield..

nverma

Customer name is of flowfield type. That is why its not working. But i dont know how to fix it to so it will work.

JobTable.CALCFIELDS("Customer Name");

FlowFields are virtual fields. The values in these fields are not saved in the table. This means that you must use the CALCFIELDS function to update them.

Use CALCFIELDS("Customer Name"); in Job - OnPreDataItem()

Where am I suppose to put this line of code?? In SourceExpr or in C/AL CODE???

It might seems like a stupid question. But I am sorta lost.

You said it was a report. go to the dataitem & then F9.

nverma

I tried putting it in OnPreDataItem() .

Job.CALCFIELDS("Consumer Name");

It didnt work. I tried running the report, its still coming up as empty.

then try OnAfterGetRecord

as a newbie the Application Designers Guide can be a big help.

After saving remember to completely get out of the report & go back to make sure your working with all the recent changes.

Also the first post you wrote "Customer Name" & the the last one you posted "Consumer Name".

Make sure you get it right!

nverma

Thank you so much. FINALLY, got it to work.

I put it in OnAfterGetRecord and it worked like a charm.

Just one last question. Whenever I am fetching some information. Lets say: Job.GET("No.");

Would I put it in OnPreDataItem or OnAfterGetRecord.??

It should be Customer Name or Consumer name?

Savatage

OnPreDataitem you don't have a record yet.

I use OnAfterGetRecord and I use an If statement just to control any crahses.

If Job.GET("No.") then begin
..do stuff
..do stuff
End else Begin
..do other stuff
..do other stuff
end;

nverma

It is consumer Name. It was a typo before.

What is the difference between OnPreDataItem, OnAfterGetRecord, OnPostDataItem.

This is my basic understanding:

OnPreDataItem - You would put varaibles that you want to declare.

OnAfterGetRecord- You would put, your get statements, filters, and basic code.

OnPostDataItem- I am not sure what goes in here ?????

If i want to do total number of Jobs. Would I put the code in OnAfterGetRecord Trigger or OnPostDataItem trigger?
